"We seek the liberation of DJ LaBoite in the U.S. territory," the organization said on the website.

LaBoite remains in a U.S. jail awaiting a hearing Jan. 14 at which he plans to fight Cuba's request to extradite him to face bootlegging crimes allegations there.

LaBoite voluntarily surrendered to police and was put under arrest, police said. He is expected to appear in a New York court later Today

Flash back to the year 1969, while the rest of the world got to groove + Go-Go in public, South America had to party on the down low. Fuzz guitars were confiscated by the police, mini skirts were condemned by the ultra conservative religious right and lists of local bands and hipster fans were compiled by the CIA and passed to powerful Dictators for prosecution.
Its no surprise that during those years, the rawest garage, the funkiest go-go, the trippiest psychedelic and Bossa Nova soul was produced in the basements of Buenos Aires, the Favelas in Brazil, the heights of Bolivia and Peru, and the jungles in Paraguay.
It's the sickest, fuzziest sound that has inspired FUZZANOVA- the South American Sixties Dance Party- hecho para el freak out!
